It's easy, and only takes a few moments.In a victory last Thursday over the Houston Texans, Belichick unearthed blocking schemes from the 1960s and borrowed formations from the Navy teams for which his father scouted. On page 89 of “Winning Football Plays,” a part of the Belichick Collection first published in 1954, Nebraska’s Quarterback Sneak Off Trap is diagrammed. With a fake handoff to the left, two pulling linemen and the quarterback running around right end, it closely resembles the play on which Brissett scored a 27-yard touchdown last Thursday.
I thought this was very impressive:
With all due respect, Adam Ki!gore is the furthest thing in the world from a "lazy media" member. And the Washington Post, led by Sally Jenkins, has been arguably the fairest and most pro_Brady/Pats newspaper in the country, including the Globe and Herald. Like patfanken, I found this piece incredibly impressive and enjoyable.these are the same guys who will turn around and kill him the first time he makes a call which doesnt work e.g defer a coin toss or 4th and 2. I love all the BB praise but its just lazy media feeding up the frenzy secretly rooting against him.

I hear your sentiment. But dude, the haters are sold. It's all cheating and that's all it will ever be to them, so I don't know why you were hopeful that success of any kind, with or without Brady, would change the collective opinion outside of Pats fandom. It will always be because of cheating as far as any Pats hater is concerned.But "No", it's all because BB cheats.
That is just such an outrageous and insulting statement that I feel all the anger again just writing it.
I was hopeful that the Pats continuing success with Brady suspended would finally force the haters to finally admit that it isn't due to cheating, it is due to hard work, preparation, and excellence, but instead I am hearing lately that it is a shame that BB insists on tarnishing his legacy by cheating, when he is such a great coach that he really doesn't need to.
Some people are not going to give up their security blanket easily or willingly.
I've been described in a similar fashion. Simply replace the terms "article" with "guy" and "great" with "OK".Great article. Wasn't long enough.
It could be someone from Navy Football, where they hold the Belichick name in high regard..I wonder how Kilgore found that out. Have to think BB or someone on the team fed that to him (not that there's anything wrong with that). I like Kilgore but there's no way he went to the BB collection in Annapolis and started flipping through books and happened to run across that play.
I was wondering about that as I posted that excerpt.I wonder how Kilgore found that out. Have to think BB or someone on the team fed that to him (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Seems like a reasonable explanation, especially if Kilgore was in Annapolis to research the story somebody there could've pointed it out to him. In any case it seems like a good bet the library is being put to good use. It's already a tremendous family legacy.It could be someone from Navy Football, where they hold the Belichick name in high regard..
